 also known as the holy day of pelor or midsummer day this celebration is held by all temples to pelor on this day it begins with a tremendous service for all followers of the sun father lasting from dawn to noon the weather is altered when possible by priests of pelor just enough to ensure the sun shines for most of this time in the afternoon a huge feast is prepared and served free to all comers with exhorations of pelor 's glory along with it after the feast the priests clad in their yellow and gold ropes lead a festive parade to the less well-off districts of their cities splitting into small groups and offering healing spells food and comfort to all who ask for it children are given special attention during this day and any of those who require greater care than can be given on the spot are brought back to the local temple of pelor and given treatment free of charge if the priests of pelor have any fault during these celebrations it is a cynical attitude over the city city's nobles and much of the middle class as they recognize that many will not give freely unless shamed into it they will often exploit situations to serve as an example to them; carrying a diseased maiming or dying child to their temple in full view of all onlookers for example coercing those nearby into donating to defray the costs of their own charity is often common with such exhorations as to give twice is to be twice blessed to give thrice is to be thrice blessed category holidays
